-2x + 6y = 6
6y - 6 = 2x
6(y-1) = 2x
(1/2) * 6(y-1) = 2x * (1/2)
x = 3(y-1)
------------
If, x = 3(y-1),
-7 * 3(y-1) + 8y = -5
-21 * (y-1) + 8y = -5
-21y + 21 + 8y = -5
21 + 5 = 21y - 8y
26 = 13y
y = 26/13
Therefore: y=2.
----------
If y=2,
x = 3(2-1) = 3
-----------
Answers:
x=3 and y=2.

Step-by-step explanation:
Two similarities between constructing a perpendicular line through a point on a line and constructing a perpendicular through a point off a line are;
- 1. Arcs are drawn to cross the given line twice on either side relative to the point
- 2. The perpendicular line is drawn using a straight edge by connecting the small arcs formed using the arcs from step 1, to the point on the line or off the line
Description:
1. One of the first steps is to place the compass on the point and from
point, draw arcs to intersect or cross the given line at two points.
2. The compass is placed at each of the intersection point in step 1 and
(opened a little wider when constructing from a point on the line) arcs are
drawn on one (the other side of the point off the line) side of the line with
the same opening (radius) of the compass to intersect each other.
3. From the point of intersection of the arcs in step 2, a line is drawn with a
straight edge passing through the given point.

<u>Given</u>:
The given triangle is a similar triangle.
The length of the hypotenuse is 18 units.
The length of the leg is a.
The length of the part of the hypotenuse is 16 units.
We need to determine the proportion used to find the value of a.
<u>Proportion to find the value of a:</u>
We shall find the proportion to determine the value of a using the geometric mean leg rule.
Applying the leg rule, we have;
Substituting the values of hypotenuse, leg and part, we get;
Thus, the proportion used to find the value of a is
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
